And Grant's successes as President after the war was nothing to write home about. Truth be known though the problems associated with his presidency were not of his doing.

He trusted the wrong people. In terms of policy, though, he was better than some of our other presidents. Grant's reputation as president has risen in recent years.

I agree. Grant’s Presidency was underated, just as his battlefield strategies were over rated (IMHO). Yes, his ultimate success in the CW belie that opinion.
